Seeing that I'm an "outsider", will I get in trouble if I laugh????:Nhl_check

I usually don't write much on this forum..but I had to respond to this...my church, CCC is not "nondemoninational"...far from it. If you ever came by to visit you would experience "pentecost" everytime the doors are open. We may not have "united pentecostal" in our church name, but the Monkey cleary wrote..it's still noted on our church sign and if you looked us up in the phone book.

He may be speaking of the church that your brother attends...

In light of the fact that I brought up HML in the context of the re-opening of the Bible School, I want to point out that I feel that he is to be commended for personally taking upon himself the responsibility for raising funds for and promoting the Bible School after becoming the DS. I voted for HML to be the DS because I believed he would do a great job and represent the AD well. From what I can see he has done a good job as DS after some of his "problems" left. :)

I was forwarded an article from the local F'ton paper that clearly described the former Pentecostal Church on the north side of the city as being nondenominational. The article described the rapid growth that they have experienced since leaving the name "Pentecostal" behind.

Opps...sorry. My bad....I thought they were speaking of CCC and were still very much Pentecostal. :)

I attended the south side Pentecostal church in F'ton for a short period of time in the 60's. It was a strong church and the former church of "Mr Pentecost" in that city, Rev. Earl Jacques. I have heard persistent rumours of the reopening of the south side United Pentecostal Church with various names attached to the rumours over the last few years. Does anybody know if there is any substance to these rumours? As a distant observer it seems strange that the UPC would abandon the south side after having a church there for so many years.

There have been rumors in recent months of a possible startup on the south side however there seems to have been some smoke but very little if any fire.

okay, hmmm...trying to figure out all of your post. In the 80's the "larger" of the UPC brand of pentecostals landed in Marysville the "northside". There was another pentecostal church on the northside which is the church my wife's family left to attend the church in marysville. There were 2 other "pentecostal" churches on the south side, Smythe Street (which hold to this day the legal name of fredericton pentecostal church) and Life Tabernacle.
In the 90's the church in Marysville split and MANY joined the other church on the northside where they have seen tremendous growth and went through a denominationl change from pentecostal to multi/non/inter denominational(I'm really not sure). I have many friends there and a relative assists the Pastor. Smythe Street is non-denom and I am not sure about Life Tabernacle although I have had great contact with some of their leadership and saints.

Meanwhile, my church, CCC in Marysville has experienced much growth and is a thriving church in the community as well. And no, we don't limit our reach to the northside, so in reality, we have the southside covered with our message, capice? So, I really don't understand your question to the UPC abandoning the southside.

I feel like going into the Abbot & Costello skit about, "Who's On First?"

Anybody got any pictures of the work going on at the new Bible College site?
